Tips to Make Butter Swim Biscuits

- For extra flavor, you can add herbs or cheese to the dough.

FAQs
1. Can I use whole wheat flour instead of all-purpose flour?
Yes, you can! However, the biscuits may turn out denser. You might want to mix it with some all-purpose flour for a lighter texture.
2. What if I don’t have buttermilk?
No problem! You can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of vinegar or lemon juice to a cup of milk. Let it sit for about 5 minutes before using.
3. Can I freeze the dough before baking?
Absolutely! You can freeze the dough. Just shape it into squares, wrap them tightly, and freeze. When you’re ready to bake, just place them in the oven directly from the freezer, adding a few extra minutes of baking time.
